Any of that help?
The frame I'm considering ( in addition to the Roubaix
) is a Gunnar Sport.
The website (
http://www.gunnarbikes.com/sport.php) specs a 57mm brake. The BR600 or Tektro seem to be the best/only options. I did find that Mercian uses Shimano brakes on their Campy equipped Audax (roadie with fenders) bikes...SACRILEGE!
By the way, how are you enjoying Carbon vs. Steel?
